swede1973   10 #1 Posted March 20, 2016 The guy who wrote Kes has died aged 76. Have to watch the film later as it is a very good film.  Link below  http://metro.co.uk/2016/03/20/barry-hines-author-of-a-kestrel-for-a-knave-has-died-5763197/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Let's not forget he also did the screenplay for Threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

blake   10 #7 Posted March 20, 2016 Kes was the best of all the 'kitchen sink' films even though it came right at the end of the cycle. One of those times where the film is even better, than the book upon which it is based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lex Luthor   10 #8 Posted March 20, 2016 I didn't watch Threads until I was in my twenties. I'm glad about this, because watching it as a child, I think I would have found it terrifying.  Kes was a masterpiece.  Sad to hear this news.

I'd probably find it more upsetting now, soft old sod I am now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
